my coworkers are sucked into golf, I make fun of them and tell them that skeet is 'mans' golf, can't get them to come out to the range. Ya get to shoot stuff and break it! what more fun could you ask for, with your pants on anyway? I love destroying orange discs outta the sky.

Hit 18, 20, 21 and 23 last week, the 23 was the closest I've gotten to a straight round in a while, made me happy. (dropped both birds at station 5, no idea!)

My best was a 24 and it was the second to last bird I missed. Oh how upset I was with myself. Almost had the elusive 25

believe it or not, if you want to amaze yourself, shoot a round or two and go in the clubhouse or wherever close by and take a nap, 30-45 minutes, no more than 45. Then when you wake up, go straight out and shoot a round, you will almost always do incredibly better! your body is waking back up and focuses on the task at hand, less chance of your mind wandering. you've broken every single target many times so the possibiliy of a 25 is always there with enough rounds.

i used to do that at Camp Perry during my service rifle days, a short nap before (wasn't very often but when there was a chance) and I would have the guy before me wake me up and get up to the line and I would always shoot very very well compared to before.

hydration is crucial too; everyone I shoot with will spend 3-4 hours straight out on the field without a drop to drink. I bring at least a water bottle and usually fill up at least once. Your eyesight is one of the first things to suffer but your entire body will be 'under par' unless you hydrate. Drinking tons of water (keeping electrolytes in there too) makes you feel so much better and function better it's not even funny but is often overlooked.
